The Environmental Impact of Disposable Raincoats in Ha Giang

Disposable raincoats made from non-biodegradable plastics, like PE or PVC, are widely used by travel agencies in Ha Giang. These raincoats pose a significant environmental threat. Businesses with a high number of backpackers, such as Jasmine, Mama Homestay, Hong Hao, and Road Kings, are particularly affected. On rainy days, these businesses may discard at least 250 raincoats. This increases pressure on local landfills, where the raincoats can take hundreds of years to decompose.

As the raincoats degrade, microplastics infiltrate the soil, threatening both animals and humans. Moreover, improperly discarded raincoats can damage water supplies, clog drains, and harm aquatic life. The production of these raincoats relies on petroleum-based materials and consumes a lot of energy, resulting in CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change.

Impact on Wildlife: Both terrestrial and aquatic animals confuse plastic for food, leading to choking and severe internal injuries. As plastic waste increases, so does the risk for wildlife.

At Ha Giang Expeditions, we are committed to reducing waste and promoting sustainable tourism. We have introduced several eco-friendly practices:

• We encourage customers to bring their own raincoats, rain boots, and refillable water bottles.
• Our replenishment stations provide clean, safe water to refill bottles.
• If guests forget, we offer raincoats and boots for loan, helping reduce waste.

Ha Giang Expeditions says “NO” to disposable water bottles and raincoats. We are dedicated to fostering a cleaner, greener Ha Giang.
